MARTINEZ, Ga. - Junior Mary Rob Plunkett
(Augusta, Ga.) of the Georgia College & State
University soccer team (7-5-3, 3-1-2 PBC) was named Peach Belt
Conference (PBC) Goalkeeper of the Week as announced by the
conference yesterday (Oct. 20). This is her third such honor for
the 2009 campaign, just two shy of her 2008 mark.

Plunkett picked up her third shutout of the season, the seventh
for the team, in a 2-0 road win at Flagler Saturday. The 6-foot-1
keeper made three saves in that game and extended her scoreless
minutes streak to 251:11 with her second consecutive shutout. She
continues to remain second in the PBC in both GAA and save
percentage at 0.48 and .898 respectively.

The Bobcats are back in action tonight (Oct. 21) as they host
Peach Belt foe UNC Pembroke at 5 p.m. for Life Enrichment Center
Night at Bobcat Field.
